    We had a Papa Murphy's here. It did a huge amount of business. Then it closed. No warning, open one day and completely gone the next. No idea what happened. We have to be at four separate locations for sports events tonight. We've decided to get fast food for dinner. Probably going to...

    Well, Montreal really has no chance without Price, I think. That's too bad. Hate to see injuries determine a series. A Rangers-Chicago final would be fun, too.

    You do sound old and apathetic now, to be sure.

    Home Improvement

    I haven't paid anyone to do anything on my house for years. I have the time and I know how to do most everything, or I can figure it out. I'd rather spend the money on traveling or dinner out with my family. Everyone has their way! I'm getting set to do a bit of a kitchen renovation. I'm...

    How have you changed in the last decade?

    Steaks are bigger, and drinks are smaller. And I take particular joy in spending time with my family, rather than finding time away. Kids, man.

    is there such thing as an air conditioner that doesn't need to vent?

    This is as close as you're going to get: Amazon.com - SPT SF-609 Portable Evaporative Air Cooler with Ionizer - Portable Air Conditioners Or, get one of these bad boys, and find some way to put the hose out a window or door, or even just a door to the next room if you have only one room...

    My youngest - I was pretty sure he was going to prom in diapers. It was getting near four before we were done. With some kids, they just have to make the decision themselves, and the always do, of course. The nice thing about that situation is that it is nearly always a sudden "oh, I'm...

    Father's Day

    The last few years of my father's life I got him a Friday afternoon to Saturday night fishing tip on a boat large enough to sleep on, and well suited to fishing where he wanted to. One of his greatest joys in life was fishing. It was pricey, but he loved it and my brother and I joined him for...

    The house I'm in had gutter shields when I got here. They work really well. Last fall I pulled them off and pressure washed out the gutters, but that was the first time they had been cleaned in 7 years. They came out easily, and went back in easily. I have LOTS of trees, including maples...

    Gorgonzola Alfredo is a snap to make if you go full on unhealthy and don't care. Reduce heavy whipping cream in a pan until it's the consistency you like, then add your cheese, some nutmeg, salt and pepper. Toss with your pasta and pour on your steak. Delicious. It's what places like Olive...

    Bleu Cheese in a cream sauce over the right kind of pasta is bloody delicious. Or replace Bleu Cheese with Gorgonzola. That shit's delicious. You just have to use the right amount so as to not over power the dish.

    Yup. I like cheddar in grilled cheese, too. Recently I made a goat-cheese grilled cheese. It was also tasty. Crazy good with the tomato soup I made.

    Fine, you wouldn't have bought the food for your kids who were incredibly hungry and tired, who needed to eat and there were incredibly limited options. Good for you. But, someone calls you a faggot, and you call the cops? Yeah. Right. -911 what is your emergency? -Someone just called...

    I find this very interesting. I've used Allstate now for years and years. My rates have been incredibly consistent for all the policies. My Allstate agent is a guy who has been operating since about 1990. I wonder how much it differs from agent to agent?

    Yeah, there is a point where you have to stand up for yourself. Calling out a couple of stupid people in a restaurant we'll never be in again while my kids watch isn't one of those times.

    A gift card to go back to the restaurant? No thanks. There was no point writing an angry letter. No one is ever going to change any of those people. They're happy to exist in their tiny, shitty world. Let them. That's the best punishment. If my family were to take them seriously, I suppose...

    Probably more than you'd think. Indiana is a weirdly religious place. And by religious, I mean bloody crazy, unreasonable, and irrational.

    Car Insurance

    Yeah, we do the lump sum, too. Twice per year we get a bill, and pay the full amount. I just took the amount we pay for six months, and divided it by six. That's the monthly cost to which I referred. Pay it all at once, don't pay interest. That'll save you a lot.
